[Maul bared his fangs at Dabi in an angry snarl. That irked him quite a bit, mainly because he'd thought the same things to himself. He was weak and soft for doing this, just letting the Jedi go on living after all they'd done to one another.]

I didn't "give up" on anything. I hurt him as badly as I could. It just so happened my feelings towards the person I wanted revenge on changed more than I ever could have imagined once we were both in Deerington and then here.

[Namely, he'd fallen in love with Obi-Wan, something he'd never thought could be possible and yet had happened. Emotions were weird like that. Between that and being forced to admit his real target was forever out of reach, there had been little point in continuing his revenge.

What Dabi said about killing his brother did make Maul blink in clear surprise. He turned to more closely look at Dabi.]

You'd kill your brother just to spite your father and cause him more pain? Truly?

[There wasn't much Dabi had said which had fazed Maul or caused him to look at the man in a different sort of light. After all, their mindsets on how to approach things were very similar and it was clear to Maul that Dabi was on the side of darkness just as he was.

But killing his own brother? That was something else and it showed in his tone. There was clear judgment and disapproval there.

Maul knew with certainty that even if revenge on his master had been assured if his brother was dead, he never could have paid such a high price. Savage mean everything to Maul and he never could have brought himself to bring him harm.]
